Well I would prefer a couple more indian runners as I sell my eggs and they go down extremely well! But I like the blue guinea fowl i have seen and wouldn't mind getting them and wouldn't mind the noise whatsoever. I take it they are good warning for other birds such as chickens and ducks as...

I dont want to keep any animal locked up and I dont want a hideous cage in my garden... I love loud animals they make me chuckle. So may get guinea fowl otherwise more ducks.

right... guinea fowl it is

why can't quail free range?

Hi guys, So I will soon be adding to my poultry collection. Unfortunately not a peacock or a goose. The choice is between guinea fowl or quail... My question is... how easy is it to keep either of these and also can I allow them to free range like my chickens or ducks or, like pheasants...

Hi, So I have a small flock of 6 indian runner ducks and I am looking to get a goose, a peacock would require me to convert the stable... My question is, do you think a female goose would mix in with the indian runner ducks and become part of the flock or just be lonely or even fight the ducks?

yay so i have a big diva brahma

noo the owner was in the neighbouring field to the left, the dog chased the chicken off my garden into the neighbouring field on my right... she doesn't know, we think, that her dog killed heather... but yes she owes me a chicken and either to muzzle that dog or keep it on a lead... next time...

or right times 2 and times 3... sorry thought it reflected the quality... I thought brahmas had really heavily feathered legs? or is that in the males?

what is x2 and x3? I don't understand...

dog chased the chicken into a neighbouring field, not my land, dog owner was trespassing on a farmers land and came into my garden and was not on a lead... they have an electrically fenced off run but they free range during the day...

I was told welsummer when I bought her... but its quite unlikely being that shes darker... probably a cross too... she would be one of my favourite hens...

So I have had this chicken for over a year now... and I still am uncertain on what breed she is... Shes a heavy bird but she is comical in her mannerisms... Any help would be much appreciated... I thought she may have been a brahma but her legs aren't feathered enough...

Thanks guys I know my hen, barbara, fought off my dog when she had a chick... and my dog is a hunting breed, flat coated retriever... So I guess it depends on the situation... Anyways I still want a shamo, need to go for a hen because I refuse to get rid of alfonzo... I am convinced he...

not round my area... fox hunting is still legal tho. But no I have an axe and the blunt side of it would probs braindead some stupid mutt
